On the 24th of April, the second year of Longwu, the third day after Li Rusong led his army to attack Jingdu, the first Japanese Self-Defense Force was quickly established in Jingdu.
Mr. Xu Yangchuan, the chief of staff of the Daqin army, personally came to guide the establishment of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. He was warmly welcomed by the members of the Self-Defense Force and gave relevant instructions.
It was a sunny day in the morning. It was a good day to establish the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
In order to welcome the arrival of Xu Yangchuan's chief of staff, the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Force were in high spirits and looked excited.
"All of you! Attention! "
The leader of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, a son of a Japanese merchant who had been bribed by a Black Water agent and was the first to seek refuge with Daqin, straightened his back and commanded the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Force to pay their respect to Mr. Xu Yangchuan, the chief of staff of the Daqin army.
"This man is called Yuan Saburo, the youngest son of a Japanese merchant. His father was engaged in the business of smuggling goods and had close contact with the Black Water agent that Daqin had set up in Jingdu. Therefore, the youngest son was bribed and promised to start a new life in Daqin and become a citizen of Daqin."
A Black Water agent followed Xu Yangchuan and told him the origin of the leader of the Self-Defense Force in a low voice.
"I see."
Xu Yangchuan nodded, "Are these people the ones who provided the army with clues?"
"Yes, all of them. In fact, there should have been more, but there were no decent men, so they had to choose generals from the dwarves. They were given decent clothes, a pair of military trousers like the Daqin uniform, a military cap, and a long wooden stick. That's the Japanese Self-Defense Force."
Xu Yangchuan nodded and looked at the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, who wore the same trousers and the same cap as the Daqin, and he was very satisfied.
These people would become important pawns for Daqin to control Jingdu. With their help, Daqin could successfully divert some of the contradictions.
This was something Xu Yangchuan had learned when he was working beside Xiao Ruxun as a clerk.
Compared to people who were much stronger than them, people hated people who were only a little bit stronger than them.
Because he could see the hope of pulling him down and stepping on it himself.
This was especially so for those who had defected to the Conqueror's side. These fellows who relied on the Conqueror's power to intimidate others were the most hateful. They had no way out and were the Conqueror's best companions.
When Daqin ruled Japan, they could make use of these hardcore Japanese spies. Also, they had to be careful not to kill them. In this way, there would be no way out. Sometimes, they were even more useful than their own people.
Xu Yangchuan found it funny from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the excited and proud members of the Self-Defense Forces.
However, the necessary scolding was still necessary.
"You are all carefully selected elites. You are all the most important allies of the Daqin Empire. Your existence will bring great help to the Daqin Empire. You must fulfill your duties and serve the Daqin Empire. As long as you make achievements, the Daqin Empire will never treat you unfairly!"
Then the agents of Black Water around him translated it to these people in the local language, which made them feel extremely proud.
Finally, they became friends of the Daqin Empire. Finally, they didn't have to worry about being killed, and they could get enough food and enough security. It was great. They couldn't think of anything better than this.
By the way, they could also manage people.
As the saying goes, once you have the power, you can do whatever you want. These people were at the bottom of the Japanese society. They had struggled for thousands of years at the bottom of the society in Country R. They didn't even have a surname. They did what their ancestors did for generations. They didn't have the right to choose a career or a future, let alone the right to study and receive education.
Compared with them, Huaxia had imperial examinations since the Sui Dynasty. From the Song Dynasty, there was a very clear promotion route from the bottom to the top. People had the right to study and receive education. As long as they had money, they could send their children to study. Although this channel was also like a single-log bridge with thousands of troops and horses, at least there was.
From the Song Dynasty, there were many people who were born in poverty but became national leaders. In Country R, there was only one Toyotomi Hideyoshi in a thousand years.
And Japanese civilians were not allowed to have surnames until the 19th century, so all kinds of strange surnames emerged, which was difficult to understand.
They had never really tasted the taste of power.
But suddenly, they were told that they had the power.
Although it was only a small and insignificant power, as long as they felt that something was wrong, as long as they felt suspicious, they could search, arrest, and report to the Daqin Empire.
It could be said that in a sense, they held the power of life and death.
In fact, the abnormal excitement on their faces was completely expected by Xu Yangchuan.
He himself was also a poor scholar. He was interested in the military, but he didn't pay attention to the imperial examination. He couldn't pass the imperial examination even after ten years. He was simply the second Mao Wenlong.
But unlike Mao Wenlong, he didn't have a powerful mother to guide him, so he could only continue to take the imperial examination. There was no way out.
His parents were dragged to death by him, and his family's dozen or so acres of farmland were bought by the local tyrants in exchange for food. Until Xiao Ruxun's army arrived, he was living a life of sitting on the mountain and eating away the mountain, with no hope for the future.
When Xiao Ruxun's army appeared, his fate changed. He actively joined this army, to put it bluntly, just to make a living, because he really didn't want to starve to death. In the end, because he was literate and read military books, he became Xiao Ruxun's personal secretary, and received a certain amount of recognition.
This made him very happy, and there was even more to come.
Who would have known that God was playing a big joke on him?
Xiao Ruxun succeeded in the northern expedition, founded the Daqin Empire, and became the emperor. His trusted followers all rose to the top. He relied on his ability to familiarize himself with a few military books to get some credit in the army. When the General Staff Department was established, he was transferred to the General Staff Department.
He also participated in the Battle of Liaodong and made some contributions. This time, he directly became the chief of staff of the army under Li Rusong, giving advice to tens of thousands of troops, and made some improvements in areas that Li Rusong was not good at.
A few years ago, when he sold his family's 13 acres of farmland in despair, did he ever think that he would have such a day?
From a poor scholar, he climbed step by step to this position, only one step away from the position of the Right Assistant Minister of the General Staff Department. Although he faced great competition, he didn't think that he would lose to his colleagues.
Did he ever think that this day would come?
Therefore, Xu Yangchuan felt that these guys who suddenly knew that they had the power should have the same idea.
But they had just obtained the power, and they still didn't dare to use it carelessly. They were still in a state of fear and dread. If he wanted them to completely become the Daqin's dogs, he had to help them, push them to exercise and enjoy the power.
